For participants who need the visa application

All foreign participants must carry a valid passport, and in many cases a visa also. Since the Japanese visa application system is very strict, anyone who needs a visa should apply early, leaving enough time for processing and any possible corrections. In some cases, it takes a few months to get a visa after submitting an application.

You can find whether you need a visa or not, and how to apply for it, from the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For the visa application, “Invitation Letter” from the Conference may be required. Those who need the Invitation Letter are kindly invited to ask the conference secretariat via e-mail to mizuhata@kobe-u.ac.jp, with the subject "Request for the Invitation Letter".
 
Nanoworkshop2007 Organizing Committee will send the Invitation Letter to the Nanoworkshop's participants who finished both the registration and payment. The registration fee is nonrefundable. Invitation Letter will be possibly sent to the participants who finished both the registration and submission of the Abstract. In the latter case, the submitted Abstract must contain acceptable, original scientific topic on related field for polymer, metal and nanomaterials. Visa will be issued after the recognition of abstract contents.
